How to add a map to a mod?

[SimonB1er]

I just want to add a new map in an already existing mod but I don't know how. Can someone help me out with this? (If it can be of any help, I want to add the GEM in maxrigamod)
thanks

If you put the map you want in the PublicMaps folder, it will show up in the play a scenario menu. (Usually the one in MyGames/BTS/... is fine, but some mods will only allow maps in the Mods own PublicMaps foldes).

However, not every map is compartible with any mod. You will know if it isn't

it does show up in the scenario menu but it crash when I want to start a game. I probably need to edit something to make it load properly but Idon't know what

As i said some maps/mods are just not compartible. One of the mods might be using stuff (terrain, units, preset stuff on the map ig.) that the other mod doesn't have/know. At the very least you need to identify these differences.
You best bet would be to ask the creators of the mods.

How do I only allow the maps in my mod's PublicMaps folder to show up? I would prefer if the other maps didn't show up, since they wouldn't work with my mod any way.

There is a setting in the mods INI - something about public maps - iirc.

Follow Up Question --

How do I add a random starting location to a mod - but have set civilizations appear each time?

ie - I currently have a .dll that allows for 50 civs to play.

I want to make a mod that each time i load the mod, it has the 50 personalities already in it, (I'm tired of selecting each time) but on a new map each time.

Thanks Refar, that will come in handy.
